How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

The Stories of Strangers

Here's one inscribed in the notebook back in Ottawa, October last year, whilst we were playing at Hungoose and Hamama. A beautiful entry from another anonymous muse:

"When I was in Panama I was tenting in a dudes yard. Every fucking morning this chicken with a fucked up voice would wake me up for a month. I chased it with a hammock to catch it... followed by a kick, didn't work, .. attached a dart to an umbrella... tossed it, missed it, whipped big rocks, missed. So one day I decided to put an end to my life of being a vegetarian of 13 years. Paid my friend to come over at 4:00 am. He killed the fucking chicken. I carried it down to a restaurant, told them to keep everything. I ate the legs that ran away from me for a month. It was some tasty fucking chicken.
